Initial Impressions: LSU 45, Auburn 10

but ;-)

I really believe
that we are going to see Hilliard taking on the role of punishing and wearing down defenses, as long as he holds on to the rock.

I don’t see how you can say we ran up the score. We didn’t go into a shell offensively, but we weren’t faking field goals or going for it on 4th down

some big games tonight. Bad pick by McCarron just now

but i’d actuallly be pretty ticked if bama loses before we play them

finally looked like a real quarterback. No back foot. No running away. By far the best overall game of his career, IMO. Even the little pitch play looked really crisp. Man, what a difference a week makes. Just hope whatever Kragthorpe did to get him ready for this game holds up through Bama.

. . . sit the bench receivers bring the wood. Jarvis Landry looked really tough

My dad said during the end of the third that he wanted CLM to sit our starters. I asked him, who? We run 5-6 deep at HB, 2 deep at QB, and have what seems like a new O-Line every week. RR and OBJ are the only real “starters” on Offense. On D, we have 8 who can/do play every week. Minter is the only real constant at LB, and we could play any of our DBs, they all have blinding speed and nasty skills. This is probably not only the best, but maybe also the second best, LSU team I have ever seen. No way we lose to Bama, I don’t believe.

that when the author wrote this is the best lsu team of your lifetime, i concur, and i would say this lsu team is the best team i have seen. I’m throwing in with you guys in two weeks. Enjoy your team, they play good.

he looked like he did in high school – devastating.

on the disappearance of Deangelo Peterson? I think Les may be saving his breakout game for Bama!

by LSU! They played well in every facet of the game. I still don’t understand the smattering of boos by the fans ( I’m really at a lost for words with this). This is by far the best LSU team I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch and I just have to thank Coach Miles for sticking with the university and for making great great hires of assistants and coordinators. Offensively just goes to show you how important it is to have coaches that understand the talent they have at hand and know how to develop players. Night and freakin’ day from this year to past few years.

Now time to rest and recuperate and get ready for Bama. I know they’ll all be focused, so boys take it easy, stay away from the bars and the sticky-icky (lol), and stick with each other as you always have and follow Coach Miles! Geaux Tigers!

down the field, under center, over their CB, around their ends, between their tackles, through their backers, and up to the top of the hill this team goes.

I’m as proud as anybody of our record-setting performances against Tennessee and Auburn (and possibly Florida) and our overall “boring” year. But they aren’t Alabama, and not even close. We have yet to see how this team responds on the field to being in a tight game. We have yet to see what plays we have and how they work when the offense can’t do whatever it feels like. We haven’t been in those spots this year, so we don’t know at this point. Alabama is a brutal team to move the ball down the field against. We haven’t seen what LSU has when they can’t just out-man and wear down an opponent. And I don’t believe we can do either. We can certainly win, but we’re not going to out-talent them, and we can’t wear down their depth.

The biggest key to this game, imo, is the QBs need to supersupersuper consistent. Lee/Jefferson and the wideouts are usually good for a drop or two on a drive. Against the competition we’ve played so far it hasn’t mattered. Against Alabama an incompletion will usually = punt and no score. You can’t get behind the chains with them. Lee has been brilliant in 3rd and longs this year, but in this one it’s imperative to keep him out of them. As long as our defense is doing it’s job though, punting is winning in this one, so it won’t be the worst thing in the world. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if we win this one by 14.
